Stanislaw Zoladz

Stanislaw Zoladz
Stanislaw Zoladz is a watercolor painter originally from Poland, where he studied at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, now living and working in Stockholm, Sweden.

Zoladz’ beautifully refined paintings are infused with light in many forms, from scintillating daylight to the muted, atmospheric effects of overcast days.

From the relatively small images on his website, you might be inclined to categorize his work as hyper-realistic, or even photo-realistic, but in those few higher resolution images you can find online, it’s clear that his work, when viewed in more detail, retains the fresh immediacy of watercolor painting at its best.

This effect is exaggerated a bit by the fact that in much of his studio work, Zoladz works fairly large. He paints from life, and as far as I know does not rely on photographs for reference, creating his larger studio pieces from smaller location studies.

There are larger images reproduced on the site of Konsthuset Galleri. There is also an interview with Zoladz on the Art of Watercolor blog that includes a few images that are linked to larger versions.

In both of the sections of his website galleries, for originals and reproductions, it’s worth noting that there are additional pages linked from a row of numbers under the thumbnails, and the galleries are actually nicely extensive.

Zoladz is featured in the current issue of Art of Watercolor magazine (Summer 2013, n11).

I’ve listed what other resources I could find below.

Que no falte en ningún hogar: robot que dibuja penes

by La Gusa

Dibujar penes es algo que se aprende a muy tierna edad y que, realmente, uno no deja de hacer nunca. Con el tiempo evoluciona, a la par que su autor, hacia penes con una gota, con varias, penes alados, penes cruzando el arco iris e incluso penes siendo disparados hacia la luna y acertando en su ojo, llegando a una cúspide de creación poética que define al ser humano y lo diferencia de las ardillas.

El robot que dibuja penes no hace otra cosa que dibujar penes. Sencillos, directos y expresivos. Su creador no podía ser otro que nuestro viejo conocido David Neevel, creador de la Máquina Separadora de Oreo y de la Guitarra que manda mails.

En un arranque de personalidad, Neevel ha dotado al robot de la capacidad de hacer declaraciones acerca de su trabajo y, así, es capaz de describir lo que hace por escrito: el robot que dibuja penes también sabe escribir la palabra "penis" e incluso dibujar un pene por encima de la propia palabra en una demostración de elocuencia inusitada.

Conclusión: absolutamente imprescindible.

We’ve found the awesome singularity

by Brian Benchoff

tardis

Yes, that’s exactly what you think it is. A Transformer. That transforms into the TARDIS.

This masterpiece of pop culture is the work of [Nonnef] over on Instructables. After the inspiration to create this work of art struck, [Nonnef] started modeling this Transformer and TARDIS in clay to make everything fit together just right. After a good bit of 3D modelling, the Doctor’s robotic wife was ready for printing.

If you’re going to print one of these for yourself, be prepared for a very long print. [Nonnef] says the latest version took about 30 hours on his RepRap with a .35 mm nozzle. In the end nearly the entire Transformer came directly from a 3D printer, the only additional parts needed being a pen spring and a small screw. Paint is, of course, optional.

All the files are available on the Instructable.

La psicodelia GIF de Nydia Lilian

by David Garcia

Las limitaciones imponen el uso de la creatividad para tratar de contar una historia. Si hablamos de animación, un GIF es, posiblemente, la mínima expresión de la misma. Nydia Lilian es fotógrafa y se ha apoyado en el resurgido formato de imagen digital para animar sueños y paisajes.

Al igual que en Frankenstein, la vida surge de las imágenes con destello de tormenta, con flashes psicodélicos en blanco y negro y juegos en bucle de una foto con su negativo. La sensación que se transmite es oscura e inquietante. Todo se mueve, pero no sabemos si debería ser así o si nos acecha algo tras ese parpadeo. La mirada de Lilian a los paisajes de Chiapas y Oaxaca, en su México natal, desfilan ante la retina en una continua danza de claroscuros. Eternal es el nombre de la serie de fotografías.

No hace mucho, Lilian optó por la fantasía lisérgica que desentierra pesadillas del subconsciente. Ahí también fue en blanco y negro, también había un lado positivo y uno negativo. Esa exploración de la dualidad a través del movimiento creaba alucinaciones como las de su proyecto Bad Dream.

Circumventive hybrid organs

la biomasa sera terminator en verdad

59k
With the introduction of bioprinting the possibility of new organs is becoming a reality. The ability to replicate and print cells in complex structures could mean different cells with various functions could be put together in new ways to create new organs that would take millions of years to evolve naturally. Frankenstein-esque hybrid organs could then be put together using cells from different body parts or even different species continue
